A recent article in the journal „pnd – rethinking planning“ by ILS researcher Nina Hangebruch and a colleague from TU Dortmund covers vacant department stores as key buildings in the use change of inner city centres. Based on a theoretical model of transformation capacity, two current case studies from Lübeck and Hanau are used to illustrate how municipalities promote the transformation of inner city centres by reactivating former department stores. Therefore, the article presents key elements for the development of adequate utilization concepts and discusses stakeholder-related issues for municipal transformation capacities.
